Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Nick Stahl
Characters: Terminator and John Connor
Directed by: Jonathan Mostow
Tagline: The machines will rise
Grade: C-
Wow....first of all, what an original tagline. :/ The movie isn't much better. The story is weak, the dialogue is corny...it doesn't even look like the same series as the previous two. James Cameron said to stop and did they stop? NO! Stupid movie...and it's sad when this stupid terminator (who is a woman) is the bad guy. This confirmed people's belief in the fact that a woman couldn't be a terminator...until Cameron came along. Now, she's awesome. She's scarier than the original terminator. :) Anyway, the movie is about John Connor...being chased...by a terminator...being protected by a terminator...wait...haven't I heard this plot before??? Oh ya...the LAST MOVIE! Ugh...hasn't been a good night. I miss Alex Lambert. :'(

Movie Review: Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Starring: Linda Hamilton and Eddie Furlong
Characters: Sarah Connor and John Connor
Directed by: James Cameron
Tagline: It's nothing personal
Grade: A++
Another great one from Cameron. He rocks...it's established. T2 is no different. This time, it's John Connor who is targeted. He's 10 this time. His mother has been arrested and put in a mental institution, so he's all by himself. (Well, he has foster parents, but they're taken care of pretty early in the movie.) There is quite a bit of gore (it is Terminator, after all...and rated R) but if you're not too bothered by that, it's an amazing movie. It's one of the few that's as good as the first one. This is the last movie James Cameron was involved in...he wanted the movies to stop here, because they stop Judgment Day (the day where Skynet bombs the world and the Terminators take over the world) and you can tell it's the last one he made. You'd see why if you watched the third one. Anyway, if you loved the first one, you will love the second one just as much. And if you get the Special Edition, they include a scene that wasn't in the original version of the movie, and the scene involves Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) in a dream sequence. Overall...great, great movie. :)

Movie Review: The Terminator
The Terminator (1984)
Starring: Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton
Characters: Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor
Directed by: James Cameron
Tagline: Your future is in his hands
Grade: A++
This is one of my very, very favorite movies. I LOVE this movie. It's one action packed movie. Stuff blows up, people shoot other people, and the plot is so confusing that it literally blows your mind. (And The Terminator has to be one of the coolest movie characters of all time, besides John Connor and the amazing Kyle Reese). This movie is about a waitress named Sarah Connor, who's son, John Connor, will one day become the leader of the human resistance against the machines. (She doesn't know this when the movie starts, of course.) A Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) comes back to the year 1986 to eliminate Sarah...Kyle Reese, a soldier from 2029, comes back to protect her. She doesn't believe this when he tells her, of course. Neither do the police when they eventually capture them. They think he's crazy. So, when the Terminator comes to...well...terminate Sarah, Kyle is able to get away and grab Sarah in the process. They get away to a hotel, where they build bombs. Then, they...well, let's just say Kyle ends up being John's father...which is one of the confusing parts. When John meets Kyle in the future, Kyle is a teenager and John is an adult. Then they have an epic battle at the end and the movie ends with an alone Sarah Connor driving off into the distance, which is one of the coolest scenes of all time. The gas station guy says, "There's a storm coming," ..he's talking about the weather. Sarah answers back, "I know."...meaning Judgment Day. Then she drives off into the distance, with the storm (both real and metaphorical) brewing in the distance. My review of it does it no justice, so people really have to watch it for themselves. All I can do is reccomend it...very, very strongly.
